Sagittarius and Scorpio Compatibility

Adventurous Sagittarius loves change and exploring the far horizons, taking every kind of risk (physical, emotional and spiritual), then moving on to the next big challenge. Scorpio on the other hand prefers to dive straight to the nitty-gritty of the relationship, exulting in the exploration of emotional power and commitment. So if it’s a challenge you want, Scorpio will give it to you!

Passionate Scorpio, a Water Sign, is ruled by forceful Mars, God of War and seething Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, while Sagittarius, a Fire Sign, is ruled by philosophical Jupiter, Lord of the Dance. Since both of you are very interested in sex, this mixture can be one of the steamiest in the zodiac. Sagittarius, however, is impulsive and spontaneous, even whimsical, while with Scorpio everything is happening below the surface, making it difficult to know what is really going on there.

Scorpio is a Fixed Sign, and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign, so in one way the stability and strength of the Scorpion appeals to the light-hearted Sag. This said, you’ll find it hard to come to terms with Scorpio’s air of mystery and with that self-contained area which is very much a no-go zone for you. You are quick-tempered but cool quickly, while Scorpio can seethe for days before erupting like a furious volcano. Scorpio can also be very possessive and jealous, something that flies in the face of your flirtatious and freedom-loving spirit. Your playful sexuality soon finds Scorpio’s intense, dominating passions too much to cope with and your inclination is to flee.

If the attraction is strong, as it might be if the Moon Signs or other factors are compatible, you’ll need to find a common ground from which to build a long-term understanding of each other. Scorpio should understand that you cannot be kept like a bird in a cage. Your outspoken bluntness goes against the scorpion grain too, for Scorpio is secretive and likes to manipulate, while Sagittarius prefers to be open and up-front. You need to control your tongue, and your Scorpion lover needs to keep the whip and spurs on the shelf, at least while you are making travel plans. This is quite a difficult match.
